Some of the more complex issues that arise on the development scene is directly created by key elements that are held back. In particular are the driver libraries and source headers. While our development community does a pretty damn good job of giving us a variety of choices in the custom ROM scene, their abilities are limited with out all the tools they need to move forward.
That is where XDA recognized developer and CyanogenMod device maintainer, Codeworkx comes into play. Knowing well and good that the Galaxy SII has a lot of potential if Samsung would just release the small bits that are needed to help development take off. After all, if you buy a phone, it is yours. There is no reason you shouldn’t be able to do whatever you want with it. To help get the ball rolling he has set up a petition for the masses to sign. Out lining exactly what the developers need in order to move forward and to make the Galaxy S II truly shine. They are shooting for 10,000 signatures and are currently at 5,817. You are free to sign if you so desire. We have a feeling that if a large enough body of people show support and interest in future development of the device, that Samsung might just say “OK”. It is a hope and a dream, they can always just ignore the efforts. You don’t need to own a Galaxy S II to sign the petition of course. The more support it receives from everyone the better chance we all have of future devices having the needed tools available at launch.
You can check out the original post at XDA, or head straight to the petition so you too can sign, or at least read up one what they are asking for, at Change.org.
